Jesus IS Yahweh The Cloud Rider

Nahum 1:3 describes a theophany of Yahweh.

The theophany of Yahweh that Nahum describes contains many of the same elements we see throughout other OT theophanies. We see Yahweh in the whirlwind in Job and Ezekiel.

We also see a reference to the Cloud Rider. The Cloud Rider is always Yahweh the God of Israel in the OT. The one “exception” is when it’s used of the Son of Man in Daniel 7:13. Jesus Christ claims this title for himself when he’s on trial before the high priest. This is one of the many instances Jesus Christ claims to be Yahweh the God of Israel. And specifically in that moment, Jesus claimed to be Yahweh The Cloud Rider!

In this short teaching I investigate the OT occurrences of the cloud rider designation and the importance of Jesus’s claim to this title.

I will also look briefly at the symbolism of Yahweh walking upon the air.
